As long as your wire run is not too long 4 AWG will be fine. If it's over 5 feet I suggest you up the gage to 2 AWG. 200 amp alt should do the trick.

are you running the 4 ga to each amp from the battery or a distro block after the cap?

i have the same amps in some of my crews cars, for best preformance go with two 2 ga wires (one per amp) and skip the cap all together (i'll just slow you down) run a duel battery setup (its cheap to do.. if you need to kow how e-mail me at nhhs455@hotmail.com subject: "jbl 1200.1 amp install") this will have the amp runnin at its peak. each amp is ganna pull about 120 amps total of 240 (your alt will be fine even if you do teh duel battery setup) too bad you chose those kickers, i went with two audiobahn alum15Q's (15" subs) blew out a back glass in about three weeks

the only time you need a back windshield is when you drive too slow.

ur gonna blow those subs with those amps i had a jbl bp 600.1 hooked up 2 2 cvr12s and almost blew them so a 1200 might be pushing it b/c those amps push out way more than they say they do ull be pushing about 1500+ watts

how do you know if thats true because my audiobahn 1500hct amp wasnt even making it hit hard and its supposed to be 2000 watts at one ohm but im being to see that audiobahn amps are overrated. but i hope my subs dont blow but if they do i have 2 brand new p gold ti15d subs so if it does not sound good i will get an ported box custum made for the p golds and hook each amp up to each sub.but hopefully the compsvrs can handle the jbl's. i will know by tommorrow how it sounds because im gonna put it in around noon tommorrow
